Sykes spent over 20 years ripping on Milwaukee day in and day out while he was a squawk radio host in Milwaukee for WTMJ-AM and on Sundays when he hosted a TV show on TMJ4.

Fiscal memo details how much of a hit taxpayers in other parts of Wisconsin will take.

Wouldn’t it make sense for the United States to consider once again enacting universal national service, but making it apply to the more than the military?

Stablecoins backed by dollars provide demand for U.S. public debt and a way to keep up with China.

How many workers in the nation would be content with no pay raise for 15 years? Why should congressional staff also be financially harmed by this aversion to increase pay on Capitol Hill?

It was a sad joke when the Supreme Court took up a case from conservatives who wanted to con people into thinking that a proven abortion medication with a decades-long safety record is dangerous.
